Rubin Kazan’s sporting director has claimed that Yann M’Vila is still their player, but admits it will be difficult to keep the midfielder.
A move to Inter has long been on the cards for the France international, with suggestions that a switch could happen this week.
However, the board member of the Russian side has insisted that the 24-year-old has not gone anywhere yet.

However, the board member of the Russian side has insisted that the 24-year-old has not gone anywhere yet.
“I think it’s premature to talk about the sale of M’Vila,” Ayrat Garayev told LiveSport.
“At the moment he’s gone nowhere. He is still a Rubin Kazan player.
“It’s shame to know that he wants to return to [western] Europe, as he’s one of our best players.
“But if he wants a change of scenery then there’s not a lot we can do.
“If a deal does go through, then M’Vila will play for Inter – otherwise he’ll say here.”
